no common law marriage in Wisconsin. I think the time is a lot longer than 1 year in most places. Thinking 7 is a magic number of years for states that have it. Sorry Cash, Yes the government CAN (depending on the state) say your wed AND best of all you get to go through the fun of divorce...

Couldn't you just get a girlfriend? That would take your mind off of what your wife has to say and really give you some motivation to make some coin. Of course then you will have a time management problem but its hard to find a plan thats perfect. Best of luck to you

Sorry, It wasn't Clinton but the Republican Congress that came into power that did most of the magic. Welfare reform being one of the big shots in the arm. Hillary would have given us all iron rice bowls back then if she could have. Remember her universal health care BS speaches to...

Hey Surf, sounds like a great time for all. Fine cigars in a pleasant atmosphere, drunk ice and probably the best conversation of the weekend. I turned 40 on sunday of the weekend so I decided not to go to NY and hanged with my family. Sure would love to get on the list for next...

You know I didn't think about that before your post. I thought it was a programming error on their part. (preventing crossed markets etc) It kinda sucks how everything you think you get from IB turns out to be so much less as a result of issues (like customer support or having forced...

Just a followup on my experiences with ISE and ARCA I use IB and for nas stocks I just used smart routing and it was only listed stocks that I tried ISE. for some ISE gave me good entries and appeared to work about the same as ARCA. Others it was not the case. I would see trades five or...

Yeah, Got out on Thursday around 7.24 average (just on the breakdown in price at the end). Stock fell some more on Friday. It was my worst trade of the year. I don't ever recall seeing a stock act in this way before. The PE is under 3 and the yield is over 16% which is just crazy...

lost about $10 and two hours with IB tech support trying to get IB book trader to work correctly. It will not let me hit bids or asks only post liquidity. Fine for most of my trading but when I wanted to get out of IAR I became tired of "invalid order" really fast. IB says its because I am using...

Ok, weekend is here and nothing else meaningful came up. Still watching IAR after my beating and its still falling. Spent some time on the yahoo boards and can't believe how uninformed some are. I guess thats good for the rest of us. lost about $10 and two hours with IB tech support...

out of OCR @ 23.96 +33 for the trade made a mistake in calculating entry so I adjusted my exit based on the correct entry price which lowered the profit. So basically that mistake cost me $70 in lost profit

Yes, On Feb 8th I bought 4 units. 2 pre market and 2 at the open. all sales were near the top. I have adjusted my rule to not buy in premarkets and also to wait until the first 30 minutes in a trading day to adjust a position if losing. I still would have lost on that trade but I would...

S 2 OCR @ 24.13 S:6b+

closed out my large open loss today. As bad as the numbers are (my worst day in months ) I feel good about what I did learn from this trade and that I did close it before it became a problem. Looking forward to a better rest of the month. results reflect the loss of 507 on my TS account...

Worst day of the year so far. actually did have one good trade. Stop loss in IAR kicked in and I was out. Kept going lower so it was good I got out. results reflect the loss of 507 on my TS account out of IAR @ 7.23 - 6765 for the day - 6114 for the week - 3953 for the month +...

out of WLT @ 50.79 +301 for the trade

out 2 of 4 WLT @ 50.62 +167

Perhaps in this case I should have. But the results of one stock don't matter. I am working my overall plan with IAR and I feel its very cheap at this price. They do have a huge debt load but no problems servicing it. It appears to me that the stock is just selling off due to panic and I...

Painful as you can tell. I did get the fat dividend but I am still way underwater. it appears that 7.5 is support as huge amounts of buying on the ask took place at / around 7.50 I 'hope' I have seen the bottom today but it also appears that I will need to exit if it goes up or down as I...

Still bleeding from IAR. Didnt add to the position today but at least it appears that it found support at 7.50. Looks like tomorrow may be a better day with that. Also still short WLT. Expect to be out tomorrow. open - ~ 6000 +333 for the day + 651 for the week + 2812 for the month +...
